Note: If you don't even believe in Jesus, please just don't answer this question with smart-alecky anwers
Look at these two verses in the Bible:
Romans 10:9-10
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
Revelation 20: 12-13
And I saw the dead... Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done.
The first seems to say all you need to do is accept Jesus as your savior. The second seems to say that you need to have good deeds in your life for your name to be written in the book of life- thus being saved for eternity. Which is it?
